Does anyone have any feedback on the made for India Sena B20 intercom?

Mesh technology and Sena connectivity make it seem like a good deal.

Hello folks!

After a lot of search and research I have come to conclusion that in my use case I only need a good bluetooth headset with mic that can be fitted in a full-face helmet. The only requirements of this headset are:

1. It should have good call quality and mic with noise cancellation feature, no need for super clear HD speakers for listening to music; basic speakers will do the job.
2. There should be some dedicated button for answering or rejecting call and volume control.
3. It should work with Hey Siri/OK Google Voice Assistant (which usually all earphone do by default).

Actually, whenever I ride with my wife on the pillion, the only itch is that we can't talk properly due to wind noise and helmets. We don't want to talk consistently for long and therefore this can be done using a phone call if and when needed. Secondly, while riding alone sometimes you just wish to make an important short call but do not want to interrupt the ride which can easily be done with super easy voice assistants on our phone. I do it all the time while driving my car - just press the voice assistant button, say what you want to do and Siri does most of the basic things. Starting music apps or locating a well known place on Google Maps is also very convenient without any hand movement. So, the first solution that came up was get an intercom. And the search started with Parani M10 and went through Cardo, Sena and whatnot. At this moment, I realised that I seldom do group riding and there is no need to spend good money on a good intercom, especially when my helmet is not worth more than 8K, should I be spending 15K on intercom. That too when it will be used sparingly and anyway I would need them in pair.

So, now I know what I need: a cheap wireless headset with mic that I can fit on my helmet (and on my wife's helmet).

Here's what my further search on this product took me to:

1. EDYELL: Bluetooth for Helmet | Wireless Dual Earphone On-Ear Helmet Bluetooth V5.4 | HD Calling and HiFi Music | IP67 Waterproof Helmet Bluetooth Headset | Compatible with All Helmets-C5S Price: Rs. 1999
2. OTOROYS: Motorcycle Helmet Wireless Dual Earphone On-Ear Helmet Bluetooth Calling and Music with Mic Price: Rs. 1199

There are many other options as well if you just look up for "bluetooth headset for helmets" on Amazon or other e-commerce sites.

I have almost finalised this type of product to get for myself. I just want to know if folks here can suggest me something else better for my use case. Also, have any of you tried out any such product. If yes, what is your view? Would I end up regretting that I wasted my money on this cheap thing and only a good intercom is what I should have gone in the first place. The cheap intercoms start from around 3K (eg. Vnetphone V6) so the price difference is not that huge here.

What's your take guys?

Finally took the plunge and invested in Cardo packtalk. They were running a sale recently and realised that prices have somewhat is comparable to international market (it's still lower).

Another BHPian friend traded in his 10 year old SENA for me and got a further 5 percent discount. Ended up paying 31k Net.
